History
In 1848, Dr. John Bancker Aycrigg, a physician and politician who represented New Jersey in the United States House of Representatives, built the Renaissance revival Italian Palazzo style home for his family. One of Aycrigg's sons, Benjamin Bogert Aycrigg, was the first mayor of Passaic, in 1873 and later owned the mansion.
In 1899, the house became the first permanent home of the Passaic Collegiate School (which today is at 22 Kent Court). In 1908, the house became the new home of several Masonic lodges, which it remained until 1994. For a several years, the house was the home to the Passaic Museum which shut down due to financial issues.{{cite web |title=Historical Places Pre-1920 |url=https://www.cityofpassaic.com/171/Historical-Places-Pre-1920 |website=www.cityofpassaic.com |publisher=Passaic, NJ |access-date=13 July 2022}}
Since the late 1990s, the structure houses a boy's religious high school, Mesivta Tiferes R' Tzvi Aryeh Zemel.
